Hi Norm and Mf,
I saw this on another site.
Dawn dishwashing liquid works great in my ultrasonic cleaner. Here's a tip;
place the parts, especially small parts, in a Ziplock bag, add the soap and water, seal and place in the ultrasonic cleaner filled with water. The plastic bag is acoustically invisible to the ultrasound of the machine. You use much less cleaning solution and the clean-up after is a breeze; just remove the parts from the bag and rinse for a few minutes in the clean water of the ultrasound cleaner.
Cheers
Max.
